Jeanie Wyant

Even before she took her first quilting class in 1983, Jeanie Wyant loved the colors, patterns, and feel of fabric. She has since become a well-known quilt artist whose current work features freehand cutting and improvised designs.
A 1971 graduate of the University of Arkansas, Wyant owned and operated a home-based word processing business for 20 years, while becoming a ranked tennis player in Arkansas Class A Division singles and doubles. She also gave private tennis lessons and coached the Fayetteville High School girls' tennis team for five seasons. Since 1998, Wyant has divided her time between quilt making and working as an assistant teacher at The Montessori School.
Wyant's "Turnabout" is owned by Washington Regional Medical Center and hangs in the Tyson Commons dining area of the new hospital. Her quilt is one of 17 signature works by area artists selected for placement in the hospital.
